Background Story of this 1956 Buick Century

Overview of 1956 Buick Century For Sale by Owner

The Buick Century is one of the most successful vehicles produced by the automaker, remaining in production since 1936 for several generations. This particular vehicle is from the second generation of the Century, featuring a large and powerful V8 that put the Century among Buick's performance vehicles. Paired with an elegant design, it's no surprise that it became an instant classic. This particular model of the Century is more notable, being a rare trim often called a 'four holer,' thanks to its four holes per side in each side of the hood, denoting the car being an eight-cylinder model. Surviving for nearly seventy years, this Century features some upgraded parts, along with some modern comforts, including power steering, and remains in excellent condition. Owning a 1956 Buick Century Model 66R 2-Door Riviera Hardtop isn't just a purchase; it's an investment into protecting a piece of American automotive history and a collector's dream, making this car one that you shouldn't miss out on.

Exterior and Interior

The design of the second generation Century is a masterpiece of timeless elegance, without a doubt. Sleek lines that glide from front to back, paired with some sharp angles and lines accentuated with distinctive chrome accents, make this car an absolute stunner. The Emerald Green paint, which the current owner reports to have been repainted roughly 15 years ago, is a perfect selection, showing a hint of sophistication and luxury at the same time. Climbing inside, the theme of elegance and vintage style continues in the black and cream-toned interior. The big, spacious cabin is a joy to be in and remains true to its vintage roots. As you settle into the seats, you'll welcome the great visibility of the exterior and the simple and honest 'American' feel of the Century's interior. However, the experience does come at a minimal compromise, with the original radio of the car not working at the moment. You'll also be disappointed if you're looking for air conditioning.

Engine

But whatever shortcomings the interior might have are all forgotten when the 322ci "Fireball" V8 springs to life. Paired with a 2-Speed Dynaflow automatic transmission, this Buick's engine delivered performance with style. The current engine has had a few components upgraded as well, including a recently replaced 4-barrel carburetor, fuel pump, and battery, meaning this Century is ready to live on for many more miles to come, should you claim her for your garage.

PENDING SALE
$19,500
